Metal-loving hardcore kids 3 Inches Of Blood release their second single from the album 'Battlecry Under A Winter Sun', 'Destroy The Orcs', on 27th October, to coincide with their first ever UK headline shows. The extra tracks will be two re-recorded versions of songs from their first self-titled EP, now long out of print - 'Sunrise Over The Fjords' and 'Conquerors Of The Northern Sphere'. The band's album has earned them comparisons to Iron Maiden, and the group supported Slayer back in the summer.

Already confirmed as support for The Darkness on their sold-out 15 date UK tour, 3 Inches Of Blood will also be playing 10 headline gigs around the UK.
